I know Christie, I still refer to them as the pups!!
When we are walking them people always think Biggles is the mum and the two little ones are his puppies!! Chis aren't too common around here - I think since I have got them almost 4 years ago I have only met 2 or 3 other chis whilst out and about - so no one is used to seeing such small dogs and think they are puppies
